Denina's Morrowind Forums

[Denina]

My newest character, Christina Marigold, is a demanding Altmer Sorceress, but she's a lot of fun. She has "come to life" for me, much the way Leah did, and thus, has demanded that I build her a custom house. I'm really proud of this place so I want to show it off. Sit back and relax. There are a lot of screenies as the house has 13 rooms and I wanted to show it to my friends who don't have Morrowind installed.

So, here goes:

You enter into a short hallway, but once in the hallway, and look left, this is the view. The door you see in this picture leads into the Dining Room.



Same room, but from standing where the desk is, you can see the rest of the Entry area. The door in the hallway will lead to the outside. The door on the left next to the staircase leads to the Lounge.



Go to the top of the stairs, look straight ahead into another hallway. The door on the right that you can see leads to the bathroom. At the end, the hallway turns left and leads to the upper floor of the Dining Room.



Standing at the same place from where the hallway shot is taken, instead turn right and this is the view. The door to the right leads to the Sleeping Quarters, which houses the Master and Guest Bedrooms.



...more to come...

This is part of the bathroom. It looks bare because I will decorate it in game with Korana's Provincial Bath Shoppe. There is another part of the bathroom to the right, but except for a shelf, it's completely empty because that's where the bathtub will go once it's bought in game.

Let's go back downstairs, and if you go through the door to the right of the entrance, it will take you into the Lounge:

Bar area:


The rest of the Lounge:



There is another door in the Lounge, across from the door you enter from the Entry that will take you into the Alchemy/Kitchen area. Sorry for the darkness of this pic. Night Eye chose that moment to wear off.



One of the features of this house is that the shelf where the alchemy jars are is actually a container. I got tired of faffing with individual jars for ingredients, so I made the shelf the container and placed static jars on it so I could have the look of alchemy jars without the painstaking work of making individual jars for every single ingredient. Each shelf holds 5,000 encumbrance. Similarly, the wood pile you see to the left works similarly. The basket the wood is sitting on is actually the container, but the wood itself is static pieces and I'll use the basket to store scrapwood from Morrowind Crafting to make my cook fires, and later for woodworking if Christina decides she can get her hands dirty. You can't see it, but there is a fireplace in the corner to the left. There is no fire in it because I use Morrowind Crafting and will build a cook fire with the flint and tinder kit from that mod.

The Dining Room:

I was trying for a breakfast nook type area, but it turned out a little bigger than I was hoping for, but I still liked how it looked so I kept it:



The dining area for company, which is in the same room as the previous pic:



From around that corner in the hallway of a previous pic (beyond the door to the bathroom) leads to this area. I made this little nook to place the brewing keg from Morrowind Crafting in order to make liquors:

From the Entry, down those stairs beside the door to the Lounge will take you down a long corridor. The first door on the right will take you to the Storage & Workshop area. This is the area when you look right from the door. It's mostly empty except for storage containers because I'll need room for the stuff I'll make. I intend to use Morrowind Crafting to furnish the rest and Christina's other residences across Vvardenfell.



This pic is taken from the corner seen in the previous screenshot.



There is a door in a short hallway from where you see the crates. That door leads to the...

After going back out of the workshop and down the hallway, you soon come to a door on your left. This leads to the Magical Sanctuary, aka the Training room. Christina is a Sorcerer-type and she practices conjuration by summoning monsters and beating on them. She doesn't want the debris from the remains littering up her fine home so I made her a mostly empty room to train in. The containers can hold supplies for such events:




There is a short hallway down from where the storage containers are, and it leads to the Enchanting Lab:



Back out in the hall, you will go down a flight of stairs that leads to the Pool Room (I love swimming pools - no slaughterfish or dreugh to bite me):



Changing area behind the wallscreen:



And finally, you go down another flight of steps and it takes you to the pool itself:



You can't see them, but to the right, there are kollops on the wall that are turned 180 degrees from the direction you see them in the screenie. I thought the effect made it look really nice. There are no pearls in those kollops though.

Back upstairs to the door I said led to the Sleeping Quarters from the library nook area:



The door on the right leads to the Master Bedroom. The door straight ahead on the other side of the room leads to the Guest Bedroom:

Master Bedroom, looking left when you enter. To the right is wallscreens, which can't be seen in these pics:



Behind the screens. There is a jewelry box sitting on the dresser.



And here's the Guest Bedroom:



The screenies don't really do the place justice, but almost all the containers are high capacity, and many are specifically named for what they're for. Of all the houses I've ever made, this is the one I like the best of the "big" houses. I've had a lot of fun making this. It's doing the exterior of the place that will be the trick. That part isn't done yet.

nice job denina looks really nice. i was wonderign if this was a vanilla morrowind mod or does it require expansions? If not is there a way to make it MW only so people like me who don't have the expansions or the capital or time to buy them can play it.

[Arakhor]

Oh, good work Denina! That looks nice. Have you considered NoMing the kitchen?

[Rulparapel]

Wooow, I can't stop admiring those cupboards! It's so smart to put bar disks in the ceiling and put the cupboards IN them!
I've always thought that it didn't look so good having rows of cupboards next to eachother but when you do it like
you have here it looks great! ...Please don't be mad if I would use it if I made a new house mod...

[Denina]

Not at all. I don't think I'm the first to use that idea to begin with, and am definitely not the last. I don't know how I got the idea to do it, but I probably saw someone else do it. I really can't remember. I just don't believe for a second that I'm the first to think of that. But who knows? It doesn't matter as long as you have a nice house you like playing with in game. I still have to do the exterior to Marigold Manor. I picked out a place for it...just figuring out which pieces I will use to build it. Dilemmas, dilemmas.
